The FA645 120/4 is one of the sharpest Pentax lenses ever made. It's truly stunning; perhaps the only lens I've seen that's razor sharp at all apertures. The only negative point with this lens is a somewhat harsh bokeh. It doesn't really show up in macro situations but can be more annoying when focusing on farther distances. This is a common phenomenon on many Macro lenses. It does indeed go to 1:1 but remember that 1:1 in MF forms indeed a smaller part of the film area than for 35mm. >Also does any one have any experiece using 645 lenses on their 35mm?

I've once did a shootout with the 120 Macro and the A* 135/1.8. I posted the result on this forum. Unfortunately, I cannot longer remember the exact outcome but I believe that the 120 Macro was slightly sharper. Only stop-down metering though....
